Materials
1
piece
Letter sized paper
(white or colour of choice)
Instructions
Fold the paper in half lengthwise.
Open the paper back up.
Fold the top outside corners down to meet the center line.
Fold the top point down to just below the doubled paper, keeping the point at the center fold.
Bring the top left corner in to meet the center fold, about 3/4 inch above the point.
Fold the right corner in to meet the left point.
Fold the center point up to hold the previous folds, creating a little triangle.
Fold the plane in half, the opposite way from your first fold (the triangle folds should be on the outside).
Rotate the plane 90 degrees and beginning at the nose of the plane, fold the top edge down to meet the center (bottom) fold.
Flip the plane over and repeat the same wing fold on the other side.
Optional:
attach glue tape, double sided tape, or a glue stick to the inside of the plane to keep the body together.
Your distance flyer paper airplane is complete!
